To fully utilize the potential of a new cortical imaging-optimized 7T scanner with Gmax= 200 mT/m & Smax=700 T/m/s gradients, 128 Rx channels, 16 Tx channels, and an AC/DC B0 shim array, we describe a tailored parallel transmit inner-volume-suppression (IVS) pulse design, which can enable highly accelerated functional and diffusion imaging by reducing g-factor and suppressing physiological noise from ventricle CSF. 3D IVS pulses were designed using simulated B1+ maps for the scanner’s 24-element coil. Simulation results demonstrated uniform inner volume suppression for 3D and 2D imaging. A 2D in-vivo IVS pulse design experiment demonstrated IVS’s ability to reduce g-factor.
